Legal Question in Family Law in California
Adjudicating Paterntiy
The parents are not married. The father/mother sign an Acknowledgement of Paternity and Declaration of Paternity, and the birth cerficiate is amended to add the father's name.
The Declaration of Paternity is stamped by the state saying ''Paterntiy Established, along with the date.''
Shouldn't that be enough to adjudicate parentage to establish a child support order? Or, does a judge need to swing a gavel and say ''you are the father!?
If the parents live in other states then they would have to recognize California's documents, wouldn't they?

Re: Adjudicating Paterntiy
That should be enough to establish paternity unless it is disputed later on. Which may be the case by the father then there would need to be a judgment of paternity.
Good luck.
